Valleywag put together the following list of luminaries who were hyping Zynga a few years ago(1):

- Michael Arrington

- Kleiner Perkins partner Bing Gordon

- John Doerr

- Fred Wilson

The NYT ("Will Zynga Become the Google of Games?") and San Francisco Chronicle ("[Pincus] was indisputably farsighted in recognizing the opportunity") are also on the list.

Sheryl Sandberg and Business Insider are named as well, but the quotes attributed to them don't seem to be in the same league.
